why won't my boomerang come back

The two chaps above did try to teach us how to throw a boomerang. Well, I had two pathetic attempts and I must admit to J doing a lot better than me, although it was made much more difficult knowing you had an audience watching behind you!

macaws

I have always loved macaws, maybe because when I was a kid we had a scarlet one called Mac, up until I was about seven years old. He died on April Fools Day in 1971. Funny how some dates stick in your mind isn't it!

This lovely pair were flying around Birdworld in Kuranda, a village near Cairns.

giant jelly babies

Don't you just wish these sculptures by Cairns artist Sophie Cadman were real sweets?

They were photographed outside the Centre of Contemporary Arts in Cairns.
